So I was rereading my last post and realizing how gloomy it is and how it could really be a buzz kill so early in the morning as we make our way towards the weekend. Well, gray skies be damned. The world might be ending but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun in the process.
I'd like to highly recommend "We Brave Bee Stings and All" the sophomore effort of Thao Nguyen and her band the Get Down Stay Down. I don't listen to a whole lot of bouncy music but this album has replaced Vampire Weekend as my happy album of choice for the moment.
From the opening song Beat this album grabbed me. There is something about Thao's voice and the spartan but effective music that is really compelling. My favorites songs are Big Kids Table and Swimming Pool but I would suggest you figure it out on your own. (You can get a free listen by clicking here.) This is a great album from start to finish and one that puts a smile on my face at every listen. Like most great albums the more I listen to it, the more I love it and I hope you might too.
